We don't have one and I don't want one! Having to be on time to Dr. Appointments, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Awana, and Rooted is enough for me. 

Here's a peak into the Kindergrten core subjects textbooks we use daily in our homeschool.


For Kindergarten we use these textbooks

I'm only showing one unit manual for reading but, I picked up 7 units of the open court series. I just look ahead for lesson ideas and stories

We also supplement with workbooks and Youtube videos. Check out my playlist for morning routines and circle time songs  Maaaami's Youtube Page

The Shrinker (with coffee) recipe inspired from Trim Healthy Mama Facebook page

I finally bit the bullet and ordered mct oil, collagen, nutritional yeast, and glucomannan from Amazon last night.
I found whey protein at Big Lots for $14.00 yesterday. They also had almond flour, still $12.00 like at the supermarket, but it's got to be had and I grabbed it along with golden flax seed.
Today is day two of sipping on the shrinker.






A quart jar
Two trays of ice cubes
Almond milk
Oolong tea
Cayenne pepper
Sea salt
Cinnamon
Stevia
Pure Vanilla extract
I added a little black coffee today





 

Homeschooling made possible by The Baltimore Book Thing

WOW 2011!!!!

Its been a long while!!

Please, check out the kids over at their youtube page  www.youtube.com/user/lorrainepinkard

As of March 2014, we are now a homeschooling family. Its a struggle most days, but I've been told it will get better one day.

We were lucky to have stumbled upon The Baltimore Book Thing www.bookthink.org
-The Book Thing is a wonderful building, so wonderful you can look past the fact there is no air condition during the hot summer weekends. I say weekends because the hours are Saturday and Sunday 9-5.. even if its Christmas or New Years.  Every book in the building is free. You can donate as many books as you'd like and you can take home as many books as you can carry - or make a few trips to the car as I did on my first visit. I went at the end of the public school year and found text books and teacher manuals donated to The Book Thing from area schools.

Tragically, there was a fire at The Book Thing this past winter.  http://fw.to/iJ0Desk


They are rebuilding and moving forward. Check out their webpage for fundraising events and online donations.
